Tell me
What you would say
If you just had
A few breaths left
Within your chest,
Tell me
What you would say
If you just had
A few beats left
Within your heart,
Tell me
All the things
You never said
When your pulse
Beat solid
And your lungs
Ran full tilt,
Tell me
Not
What I want
To hear,
But what
You wished
You could
Tell me
But didn't
Out of fear,
Tell me...

I've never run
During a rainstorm,
Savoring every drop
Like Maxwell's
Has parted from the skies,
If I could
I'd add honey
And sip
A cup of tea,
Feeling
Every heavenly tear
Raining on me,
This is my bubble bath
My hot tub time machine,
The ocean coming to me
When I can't come to it,
Every puddle
A lake,
Every splash
A wave,
A greeting of the impending sun
A goodbye from the clouds
That will no longer shadow over me,
Every pitter patter
Like a rhythmic drummer
Lullaby to my heart...

Con besos
Te inundare
Como el mar
Satura la tierra
Sal de mis lágrimas
Sudor de mi pasión
Por todo tu cuerpo;
Los peces serán testigos
De mi amor por ti,
Con besos
Te tatuare
Como la tinta
De todos los lapiceros
Llenan las páginas
De todos los libros
Letras de mi mente
Palabras de mi corazón;
Las tablas de contenido
Serán testigos
De mi devoción a ti,
Con besos
Te envolveré
Como las brisas
Sacuden tu pelo
Aire de mis suspiros
Dióxido de carbono
De mis pulmones;
Por todo el horizonte
Por todos los hemisferios
De la tierra al sol,
El mundo será testigo
De nuestro amor...

With kisses
I will submerge you
Like the ocean
Saturates the earth
Salt of my tears
Sweat of my passion
Throughout your body;
The fish will be witnesses
Of my love for you,
With kisses
I will tattoo you
Like the ink
Of all the pens
Fill the pages
Of all the books
Letters from my mind
Words from my heart;
The tables of contents
Will be witnesses
Of my devotion to you,
With kisses
I will envelop you
Like the breeze
Flows through your hair
Air of my sighs
Carbon dioxide
Of my lungs;
Throughout the horizon
Throughout all the hemispheres
From the earth to the sun,
The world will be witness
Of our love...
I gave you
My heart
Like I gave you
My jacket
On a cold day
When all was gray,
And you thanked me
Like one thanks
The person
Behind the counter
With the loose change
They just gave you,
But I figured
You'd leave me
Something of yours
Like one loses
Their umbrella
On a rainy day
That clears up sunny,
But you kept my jacket
And my heart
And now I'm cold
And empty
And you left me
Out in the storm,
But all I care
Is that you're warm and dry
As I patiently wait for the sun...

I believe
The sun
Burst into flames
At the first sight of you
And hasn't stopped since,
I believe
The ocean
Waves crashed
At the first sight of you
And haven't stopped since,
I believe
That time
Took it's first step
At the first sight of you
And hasn't stopped since,
And all the things
That are perpetual
Are so because of you,
How your beauty never fades;
Your smile
Jump starts dead hearts;
And your love
Is the eternal
Changing of the seasons
Witnessed by all,
And as I bask in your sunshine
And listen to the waves
Time is the last thing
Going through my mind
Replaced by you eternal...

I wished
You had
Sent cookies
I wished
You had
Sent drugs,
I wished
You had
Sent anything
And everything
Else but your love,
Because,
I can eat the cookies
I can consume the drugs
I can go through anything
And everything,
Leaving not a trace
Stuff my face
And pass out
Forget all about
What has just transpired
Wake up tired
And groggy
My mind a little bit foggy,
Happy to be alive,
But you sent your love
And like a freed dove
It flew out at me
And though it filled me with glee
I'm left emptier
And like a drunk less friendlier
Missing you, wanting you
Needing you; and now I'm blue...

Can you hear
The stars creaking shut
As the sun slams into view?
And after the day
Shutters through its hours
The night shivers anew,
Imagine all the lovers
Under the tattooed moon
As the waves rustle
And the trees gush forth
Nature breathing
Coughing up it's splendor
Constant wonder,
Awoken from it's slumber
As laughter emanates
And echoes
Throwing back
On ember evenings
Happy hearts
Downing margaritas
Under a salt rimmed sun,
The clouds
Lazily strolling by
Captivated
By what they
Overshadow below,
You and I
Yearning for sun
After all the rain
The awnings of our eyes
Wet after the downpour
Draw out the shine under
The lackluster light;
A flash of déjà vu
To brighten our
Dimly lit future...
